False positive for Ditto clipboard manager from Sourceforge

[cylon7]

I have been getting what I believe is a false positive for the open-source clipboard manager Ditto, which is located at http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net. MWB is calling it a Trojan.Agent and asking to put it in quarantine. I'm using the 64-bit version. The file is attached, I had to change the extension to .doc to get it to upload. Avast Free antivirus and IOBit Malware Fighter are not reporting it as problematic. 

 

Thanks!

I cannot reproduce detection for this file.

Is above the exact file that was detected?

Hm oddly enough, I just ran a scan again, and it did not detect the file this time. And for some reason I don't find that a log was created, on the two days that this file was detected. It was the day I installed MWB, and the day after.

I looked at the project page, it has been the same version since November of 2012. Not sure why it was triggering a Quarantine for me. I will be sure to leave developer mode on all the time in the future, in case it happens again. Perhaps it was because I had copy/pasted an item that had malware in it?

It could be possible that this was a false positive before and has been fixed already, so a database update didn't detect this file anymore

Oh cool. Yeah I did update my DB tonight when I opened MWB, before I ran these scans. So that probably explains it. Thanks again!
